Can Europeans Blog?

It is striking to note that the online debate about European economic issues mostly takes place on American blogs. A couple of European blogs have contributed to change this landscape, but the European blogosphere remains behind the US in terms of quality and density of discussion.

Of course, Europeans can blog. The problem, instead, seems to be that the European economic blogosphere is less interconnected and less engaged with itself than seems to be the case here in the United States. (Mexican econoblogger Alejandro Villagomez references the Bruegel post and raises similar concerns for the Mexican econoblogoshere.)

The comments section for Meyer’s post adds at least a dozen more European economics blogs (and, in the process, undermines the original Bruegel view that European economics blogs are not interactive enough). In that spirit, let me add David Lizoain‘s informal, eclectic, Tumblr-powered blog, which deserves more attention than it gets. (Lizoain also contributes regularly to Social Europe.)
